Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 233 Stop Your Road Flying
"The two names you mentioned sound a little familiar." Reiner frowned and murmured softly.

"Have you heard this story?"

Hearing this, Weiwei and the others turned their eyes over.

Reiner waved his hand and continued, "Oh no, I may have heard a sentence or two somewhere, I don't remember."

He has lived in this world for two and a half years now, and has traveled all over the world since he went to sea. He may not remember everything he has heard and where.

The few people didn't take it seriously. Reiner often knew things about the sea, and Nami had long been accustomed to it.

Weiwei continued to tell them the story.

Legend has it that once upon a time, a huge rift split the earth into two, with many tribes living on each side.

The west is called "Gree" and has many oases, while the east is almost barren.

There is a lack of fresh water and food, and there are only ferocious beasts everywhere. The desert is full of dangers.

The people there lived an extremely hard life, but the harsh environment did not defeat them. Instead, it honed their strong physiques and gave birth to countless brave and skilled warriors.

Due to the shortage of supplies in the barren land, it was difficult for the warriors to obtain enough supplies by fighting wild beasts alone, so another means naturally emerged.

--plunder.

Fighting between tribes was particularly frequent in the east. At that time, the entire east was in a state of war and fighting for many years.

However, if you want to survive in the desert, there is one thing that cannot be obtained by force.

water!
People from the tribes in the east began to come forward and lobby for a ceasefire, attempting to bypass the Great Rift Valley and open up new land to the west.

But this is easier said than done.

Each tribe has deep hatreds from years of bloody battles, and the outcome of land reclamation is unknown. No one knows what awaits them on the other side of the canyon.

Things were difficult to achieve until the drought continued.
When the land is barren and filled with starving people and suffering, people no longer have the energy to pursue any hatred.

If you don't go out, you will end up in a dead end.

The leaders of various tribes quickly came together, gathered all the warriors and marched westward.

They traveled through the depths of the desert where few people had ever been, fought with countless wild beasts along the way, and bypassed the rift that almost went through the earth.

then.

[Gree], which owns a large number of oases, came into their sight.

"From then on, the Wasteland began a long and tragic battle against Gerry."

Weiwei looked calm and said calmly, "Legend has it that the Rainy Land today was the front line of the war back then, and it was the first tribe to be discovered."

How would people who have been suffering from water shortage in the desert and constantly fighting for food react if they suddenly saw a fertile oasis?

The previous civil unrest in Alabasta had already given a stark answer.

In a country with a population of tens of millions, a war of one million scale can break out, with one soldier among ten people.

Excluding the elderly, the weak, women and children, one out of every two to three young and middle-aged people is fighting in a war. This ratio is already exaggerated.

"So what happened later? Was the oasis in Gri occupied?" Nami was so engrossed in what she was hearing that she couldn't help but ask about the follow-up.

Weiwei shook her head and said softly, "This land is very vast. Even for a brave warrior, it is not an easy task to cross the desert, not to mention that they have to fight after a long journey."

"And Geri's tribe had abundant resources and was well-rested, so this long war never came to an end."

Weiwei continued to tell the legend that the person who ended the war was born in a young man in the Eastern Tribe, which was far away from the Rainland across the Great Rift Valley.

Set, god of war and desert.

Judging from the other party’s title, it is hard not to think of a certain follow-up.

For example, he was powerful, ruled and united all the tribes in the east, and then he used his military skills like a god and easily captured all the oases in Gri.

Reiner and Nami both guessed so.

However, Weiwei chuckled and shook her head, saying, "That's not the case. This story has a happy ending."

Then Weiwei continued to tell them the subsequent story.

Staring at each other across the rift valley and rain land?
Reiner listened thoughtfully and asked the soldiers to bring a map of Alabasta.

This is just a legend, no one will take it seriously. The story Weiwei told gradually began to take on a mythical color.

They had been to Alabasta before, but there was no rift here as Vivi described, which almost ran through the entire land.

But he thought of another thing, which the city far away from the rainy land did have.

The last time Reiner came here, he had been in both cities, but they were not separated by the Great Rift Valley.

but,

"What if the Great Rift is gone?"

Reiner, who was looking at the map, suddenly spoke up, maybe it was because of the movement of the earth's crust?

God knows, or because.
Rising sea levels?

Reiner felt that this was not impossible. The sea level had been rising, which was one of the truths of the world.

His voice undoubtedly attracted puzzled looks from others.

"What does it mean that the Great Rift Valley is gone?"

"It's just a legend, you don't take it seriously, do you?"

Faced with their doubts, Reiner remained silent. He knew that the official history of this world must be shit, but the unofficial history might not be unofficial.

This is a world where all fantasies can come true, and Lord Nika will prove it all.

Reiner raised his head, pushed out the map in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I was just wondering, what if the two sides are separated by the Saint Dora River?"

Everyone's eyes focused and they moved closer to look at the map.

Subconsciously, he looked towards the rainy land, then followed Reiner's words and looked towards the Santara River.

That distant city is now right under their feet, the capital of Alabasta!
"It's Arubana!!"
Everyone's pupils shrank instantly!
Reiner's guess was planted in their hearts. If the story described by Vivi was true, the only way to bypass the Santa Dora River in the east was to go north.

And the first city after passing it is today's Rainland!
"Is this a coincidence?"

“Is it really possible that the rift valley can become a river?”

Compared to others, Nami's attention was completely attracted by the Santora River on the map.

After all, I have traveled half of the Grand Line and have seen too many incredible things.

Compared to the Fishman Island under the sea and the Sky Island in the sky, the rift turning into a river sounds much more scientific.

Moreover, there are so many cities in this land, why is Rainland the city of dreams?

"But if we really regard the Santora River as a rift valley..."

Nami murmured in a low voice, as if she had already accepted this as a fact, "It seems that suddenly all the coincidences can have an inexplicable connection."

"In this case."

Reiner raised his lips, stood up and said, "Let's go to the Santara River to take a look. It will be very interesting."

Nami grabbed him and rolled her eyes, "Wait a minute idiot, stop your Lufei behavior."

"You cursed so harshly."

Reiner glanced over speechlessly, "You've been researching all day, and I've almost forgotten that I'm a pirate this year. Let me go out and play."

"Well, if you want to go"

Weiwei suddenly spoke up, a little embarrassed, "Hey, can you take me with you? I want to go on an adventure, too."

"Of course I'll take you with me. Adventures should be done with friends." Reiner chuckled.

Hearing this, Weiwei couldn't help but smile with emotion. As expected, I am still their partner.

"Really? Let's prepare things first. The old man and the others are going to rest. Let's go and take a look tonight." Nami stood up and said unhappily.

Although everyone on the ship has different personalities, they are essentially the same kind of people.

It's time for an exciting adventure!
